The answer is D) Speaker of the House.
The Speaker of the House represents the entire House of Representatives. This is the most prominent role in the entire Congress. The argument could be made that the Senate Majority Leader is the most prominent member, but it would be difficult to justify, given the Speaker's influence over the creation of laws in the House, and besides, it is not an option.

why are individual rights important to a democratic society in wartime? Why are there some limits on these rights?
ExtremeBDS [4]
There have always been conflicts between individual rights and national security interests in democracies. Limits on civil liberties during wartime, including restrictions on free speech, public assembly, and mass detentions, have been the most serious threats to individual freedom. Even in peacetime, counter-terrorist measures including profiling, detention, and exclusion, along with the use of national identification cards, have raised concerns about racism, constitutional violations, and the loss of privacy. With the passage of new anti-terrorist laws after September 11, 2001, these tensions have increased. Supporters of broader governmental powers insist that they are part of the increased security measures necessary to safeguard national security. In contrast, many civil rights groups fear that the infringement upon individual rights is another step in the erosion of democratic civil society.

Wartime measures. The severest restrictions on civil liberties have occurred in times of war. In September 1862, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) suspended the right of habeas corpus in order to allow federal authorities to arrest and detain suspected Confederate sympathizers without arrest warrants or speedy trials. Well aware of the drastic nature of such a step, Lincoln justified it as a necessary wartime measure. After the United States Supreme Court found Lincoln's abrogation of habeas corpus an unconstitutional intrusion on Congressional authority, Congress itself ratified the measure by passing the Habeas Corpus Act in September 1863. Through 1864, about 14,000 people were arrested under the act; about one in seven were detained at length in federal prisons, most on allegations of offering aid to the Confederacy but others on corruption and fraud charges.

How were the civilizations of the Huang River valley and the Nile River valley similar?
Cerrena [4.2K]

These two river valleys were similar, because they both had a government form in hierarchy. They both had a ruler, and they were in the monarchy system. Some of the systems were considered to be well off systems because they were able to rule without disruptions and others had systems which were not in equality with men and women.
